Abstract

A belt (10) for weight reduction having a buckle (11) that fits over the abdomen and stomach, the buckle having one or more air ladders (42) with pressure sensors, an air pump (30), and a massager (4l ). The air +adders are maintained at a constant pressure as signals from the pressure sensors activate the air pump to fill or deflate the air bladder. The constant pressure applied chronically to the abdomen reduces hunger and food intake to produce weight loss. Activation of the massager helps to further control hunger between meals.
